The Caldecott Medal!

The Caldecott Medal is awarded every year by the Association for Library Service to Children to the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children.

Here in Room 209 we're reading and evaluating a pile of picture books to make our predictions on who should win! 

We'll find out if our predictions are correct when the Caldecott Medal is awarded in January.

From the Math Department...

We have been working with coordinates in the Cartesian plane.
Today, students had to carefully follow a list of coordinates to create a surprise drawing.
Job well done!

This morning at Ness...

Room 209 presented at the Celebration of Learning Assembly!

Biographies!

We have finally finished our Biographies!
What fun to learn more about each other!
